Cancelling Policies Ga.
July l6.-Insurance companies operating
under Georgia laws and members of the
Southeastera Tariff Association, have can
celled policies held by the factories of this
city who are carrying insurances in East
tern and Western Mutual Companies tha,
avoid the Georgia State law. Several ol
the factories deny the right of the com
panies to cancel these policies, and de
cline to surrender the same, notwithstand
ing the tenders of money for the time the
policies have to run. Interesting litiga
tion, it is thought, will grow out of the af
fair.

eB 1t is better TO have, from the
highest to the lowest, men in office re-
movable at will, than standing army OF
life-tenures, inaccessible except through
the devious processes of red-tape official
ism, and by the eternal law Of their being,
cut off from the mass of their fellow -citi-
zens as completely as if they were band
of soldiers and of sailors. We had better
have less efficiency and less uniform, and
keep the work nearer in haud, though we
pay more for it; howbeit, 10 the long run,
the saving in money on a bureaucracy
will in no wise prove an equivalent for
the loss of the popular supervision. That
which takes public affairs and the bust
ness of the Government further away
from the mass of the people, and raises up
official and artificial barriers, distinguish
ing official classes, ought to be put down
with heavy hand, for it moves toward
Capitalization of government and tends to
strengthen and give opportunities to the
powers of consolidation.--Losisuiue Cou-

cord Times.
rive can hardly believe that any decent fe-
male would attempt to wear "mother hubbard -
or loose gown, on the streets of any village or
town. They should not be worn in dwellings
except at night time. A young lady in one of

through the streets "in the cool of the evening
with "mother hubbard" or loose gown on, was
hooted and jerred by crowd, and followed until
she was compelled to take shelter in a drug store
